After the unexplained service-wide failure of the ScoreNinja leaderboard earlier this week, we have decided to migrate NerdRAGE to the OpenFeint social gaming framework!

Switching to OpenFeint will bring a greatly advanced leaderboard and game achievements to NerdRage, in addition to other nifty features. We hope to release an update shortly!

P.S. To all those who have contacted us to say that the game is "Too Short"... we have not been ignoring you... we are adding content and mechanics to avoid repetitious gameplay in our next release! Thanks for your continuing support!

We are at the Jacob Javits Center in Manhatten, attending the New York Comic Con. Besides simply being huge fans of the entire nerd genre, we are here to promote the release of our newest creation... our first ever game for the Android platform, NerdRAGE: Wrath at the Con.

NerdRAGE is a nerd based RPG that includes tons of nerdy pop culture references, a bunch of bad guys, cool loot and challenging trivia. The game is currently a public beta release and is available on the Android market.

NerdRAGE is still a work in progress and we would love to hear your feedback!

Mr. Nice Guy is a Tool for Altering the CPU Scheduling Priority of Any Application Installed on your Device. It is for Root Users Only.

What Does Mr. Nice Guy Do?

* Modifies the NICENESS of any application installed on the system, which effects how high or low a priority it has with the CPU scheduler.

Usage Examples

* Raising the priority of a game or application to increase its performance.

* Decreasing the priority of a resource-heavy application or live wallpaper that is slowing down your device.

* Increasing the priority of Android's phone application (accessible via the options menu) to make it more responsive when receiving calls.

Limitations

While Mr. Nice Guy can alter the CPU scheduler priority of a process, it is important to remember that the Android OS can still kill or re-prioritize any process it desires, therefore it may be necessary to re-apply your priority settings from time to time.

* Increases privacy by avoiding the use of your wireless carrier's DNS servers. When paired with end-to-end encryption (i.e. using https when possible, running TOR etc...) this can diminish your carrier's ability to spy on you while using mobile internet.

Masqed Crusader uses dnsmasq, which acts as a middle man, between your device and the DNS server. Dnsmasq caches recent DNS lookups locally and uses hashing to quickly search that cache. The Masqed Crusader runs dnsmasq with a customized configuration file that is optimized for use with mobile devices, and constantly enforces its use by ensuring that the device looks to itself (127.0.0.1) for all DNS lookups.

* Some Wireless Tethering Apps also use dnsmasq to work, and therefore will not function when Masqed Crusader is ONLINE... To use wireless tethering, simply put Masqed Crusader OFFLINE.

If you experience an unusual loss of internet connectivity, try turning Masqed Crusader off and on again, if this does not work, then toggle the device in and out of Airplane Mode.

Explanation of Permissions

Masqed Crusader requests SuperUser Permissions three times when it is first run, one request is for the app itself to be allowed, the other two are for shell scripts that are utilized to accomplish the tasks of both starting dnsmasq and configuring the device to use it.

In addition to SU Permissions, Masqed Crusader also asks for: Storage (writing config files to the SD card), Read Phone State (to re-apply DNS settings when the phone changes networks) and Start at Boot (to reset the status message after a reboot)

***Please remember that network speeds vary greatly and are dependent on a number of factors.***

Optimus improves system performance and battery life by adjusting Android's internal memory settings.

How does it work?Android automatically kills background processes when system memory falls below a certain threshold. Optimus changes those memory settings, causing Android to free up memory more aggresively, thereby increasing system performance and battery life.

Optimus has three different settings: Moderate, Balanced and Extreme.

Optimus is a SAFER alternative to traditional Task Killers, which are known to cause damage to the Android operating system.
